First timer over here! Came here on a Friday night to celebrate a dear friend's graduation, and it…read morewas a great first time experience! Party of 8 - solving the "hotel" theme of room 13 - we were a pretty smart and diverse group, but we def needed help solving this mystery in an hour's time! Super impressed in the room details, clues that were presented, and the whole ambiance was on point. Our host, was super entertaining, personable, and so pleasant! She really made this experience much more enjoyable!

We had such a wonderful time the last escape room we played in a Salt Lake City community…read more(previously reviewed), we decided to try another adventure while visiting Ashton Gardens at Thanksgiving Point, this one very appropriately called The Escape Date in (the also appropriately named!) Pleasant Grove. Many of their rooms are designed for two people in mind, and the themes all looked so good, it was hard for us to decide on which game we wanted our first to be. Eventually, we settled for The Sweet Escape, and it proved to be a great choice. The Escape Date is located within different clusters of shopping malls - it is itself set up like many of the escape rooms in Orange County - not really good for showroom shopping, but easy parking, easy to find (go down the stairs!), and great for letting your imagination run wild when designing a quest! There is no café right next door, but plenty of nourishment establishments are located a short drive away. We stopped off at Beans and Brews right before our game, so we were properly caffeinated and ready when we met up with Elizabeth, our game host, in the small but nicely-decorated parlour. Elizabeth could have walked right off the set of The Good Shop Lollipop or Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. As it turned out, we were not trying to escape from anything. In fact, we were competing for a chance of a lifetime: to take over sweet magnate Louis VonSweet candy empire! Happily, we did not have to sit through an entire pre-filmed game rules video, and after a short introduction delivered by VonSweet himself, we were left to get started on our task. The video also served as a timer during our game, but clues were slipped to us under the door. Like other what we have come to call "First Generation" games, this fun hour had us solving riddles and linear puzzles, adding up numbers and being not just hands-on, but nose, eyes, ears and tastebuds on as well. The conventional locks and magnets all worked, and we did not think twice about it being a single room because we were fully engaged the entire time we were there. We loved how strictly they kept to the theme, and, even though I was a little reluctant to try one of the puzzles, that puzzle turned out to be my favourite challenge in the game. The maze, challenging our hand-eye coordination, was another memorable obstacle to our inheritance ... The Sweet Escape is the perfect date adventure, with a most delicious (ha!) price-point. It is also a full 60-minute game, and because we had just completed a 20-minute game, we outpaced ourselves and managed to become candy millionaires in 43:44! We loved the very flattering victory photos Matthew (also dressed in deference to theme) took of us on our phone, and when we used the restroom after our game, we found ourselves kept busy there, too! The Escape Date was a marvellous find, and we're thrilled to find even more games available that are built for a 2-person team. We can't wait to check them out again - it won't be long!

I hosted my boyfriend's ugly sweater-themed birthday celebration at this venue, and overall, the…read moreexperience was very fun & enjoyable! We selected Christmas-inspired games to enhance the festive atmosphere, which added an extra level of fun and engagement for our guests. The event hosts were professional, enthusiastic, and a pleasure to work with throughout the experience. The party package included unlimited drinks during gameplay, which was appreciated, and the option to add catering was a convenient feature--which I did end up adding. The only area for improvement that I would recommend is greater attention to detail regarding their add-ons. I had added a mini trophy and ribbon as part of our party package; however, these items were not provided until after the event had concluded and many guests had already departed. This was disappointing, as the add-on was intended to be part of the celebration itself. Overall, though, the event was a success, and we'll definitely be back for more:)

Colby was our host and Justice was our producer, and they completely made the experience. They were funny, engaging, and knew how to read the room and tailor the games to our group. We had so much fun that we decided to stay for a second game. We did both Classic and Prime Time and honestly can't decide which one we liked more. Both were so fun and really felt like you were on a game show. This was easily the most fun we've had together in a long time. What really stood out was how customized the whole experience felt. It wasn't just running through a script. Colby and Justice made it feel personal and special, which took it to another level. If you're looking for something fun and different to do in Salt Lake City, this is it. We can't wait to come back next time we're in town.

We've done several escape rooms, so I feel like we know the drill and what to expect. Each one is…read moreunique in that the clues are different, the room setup is themed and you never know just what type of puzzles or challenges you'll have to master to get out. This room started out great-we did the Lair of Lunacy and were appropriately briefed that we would start in the dark and what we specifically needed to "solve" to get out. (I'm purposely leaving out details to not give anything away.) Part way through our time, we came across a clue that was very robust and even had some directions that should have led us to solving that piece. One member of our group spent a ton of time on this one challenge and grew increasingly frustrated with it. He knew how to solve it, but it was not leading anywhere. Another part of the room had a similar clue that looked to be well-thought out and complex, but it never morphed into anything that would help us proceed. We eventually made it out of the room and asked about those two clues. We were told that they were both "red herrings." We believe that they were originally part of the game and that some of the components malfunctioned and they had to remove those clues. You can still get out of the room, obviously, but those items were major time wasters. I understand placing things to add confusion and that not everything leads you to a clue, but these were so complex and "in your face" that I truly believe they were originally part of the game. It's too bad, because what we think they were supposed to do would have been really cool.
